Hi

I am using the default theme, thanks for the reply

hi
For your first question, you may want to try this plugin
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-registration-options/
checkout this thread too
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/moderate-members/
For the second, yes, It is possible. Just go to SiteAdmin->Options and select the radio box which says only logged in users can create blog.
PHp5 may be an issue, better why not ask your server adminstrator to upgrade.
that is depressing since I am a complete die hard fan of simple facebook connect – http://ottopress.com/wordpress-plugins/simple-facebook-connect/ I hope it doesn’t die out. Let’s just see how it all plays out in the future devs. Thanks for the heads up
As andrea_r said, you can’t. More precisely, it’s not a supported or advertised feature of WordPress.
If you’re comfortable working with PHP and WP themes, you could try something like this: http://ryanpricemedia.com/2007/04/08/howto-include-wordpress-widgets-in-post-or-page-body/
*ponder* It doesn’t make any sense to me, except maybe it’s PHP setup. Can you add an image to a regular blog post outside of BP?
Ya, that would be cool if the My Points page was on the profile page or just not the admin part of wordpress. I didn’t create CubePoints, just this extension of it. So not sure why it’s not giving points for new users.
Do you have a point value on this page?
http://www.mysite.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=cp_admin_config
Under “Number of points new members get for registering:”
wp-blog-header.php is the old file to include, add at the top just after <?php the require_once…. with the full path to wp-load.php
see https://bbpress.org/documentation/integration-with-wordpress/ “Functions” section
Hi
Post where? In a group forum? Also, what versions of WordPress and BuddyPress are you using please.
Well, I added this to bb-config.php
`// Include WordPress functionality
$currDir = dirname(getcwd());
// Make sure this isn’t install or admin (go up if it is)
if(!file_exists(“$currDir/wp-blog-header.php”))
$currDir = dirname($currDir);
if(!file_exists(“$currDir/wp-blog-header.php”))
die(“Cannot find WordPress integration files.”);
require_once(“$currDir/wp-blog-header.php”);`
got the code from here

…still need to test…but the theme seems to work now…i think
1and1 works fine with WordPress. I run a number of sites with 1and1 not an issue, only MU does not work. I know this is marked resolved I have been testing Buddypress and MU for a while now, and It has nothing to do with BuddyPress. It is an MU issue with 1and1
@Erich73 On WPMU, the user database is shared between all sites. The user registration is executed on the main blog. In Welcome Pack’s case, there’s not a lot of difference therefore if it runs sitewide or on a per-blog basis, so I set it to run sitewide just in case there is some unusual way that WordPress user accounts can be added.
Here is the official thread on the new plugin Download link is there as well. I haven’t tested CubePoints with WordPressMU.
Have you created a network in WP 3.0?
You have to do this first before you can enable user blogs.
Read this guide by Andrea_r:

FYI, Today I updated SI CAPTCHA Anti-Spam for latest version of buddypress 1.2.3 compatibility
SI CAPTCHA Anti-Spam
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/si-captcha-for-wordpress/
This plugin adds CAPTCHA anti-spam methods to WordPress on the comment form, registration form, login, or all. In order to post comments or register, users will have to type in the code shown on the image. This prevents spam from automated bots. Adds security. Works great with Akismet. Also is fully WP, WPMU, and BuddyPress compatible.
The screenshots were from an old version. I have updated them. The CAPCHA looks nicer now.

Today I updated it for latest version of buddypress 1.2.3 compatibility
I got all this working fine. See http://culture360.org Using WP 3.0 beta-1 and BP 1.2.3
Three things:
1. upload_path option in wp_options as per my post here: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/buddypress-and-wordpress-30#post-48806
2. .htaccess file:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
# uploaded files
RewriteRule ^(.*/)?files/$ index.php [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !.*wp-content/plugins.*
RewriteRule ^(.*/)?files/(.*) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$2 [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^ - [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]
3. My quick fix for the avatar size issue as per post here: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/avatar-upload-issue-1#post-50231
HTH
Looks like in BuddyPress 1.2.3 the avatar size check is not compatible with the WordPress thumbnailing function.
If you look in bp-code/bp-core-avatars.php, function: bp_core_avatar_handle_upload()
there is a getimagesize() call. That actually returns an array, not a single value so the if statement will not evaluate correctly and the code will always attempt to create a thumbnail. If that fails, the wp_create_thumbnail() function returns a WP_Error object, hence the message some are getting.
here’s my modded code to fix this issue:
/* Resize the image down to something manageable and then delete the original */
/* HACK made some changes to check image parameters more carefully */
$_size = getimagesize( $bp->avatar_admin->original['file'] );
if ( $_size[0] > BP_AVATAR_ORIGINAL_MAX_WIDTH ) {
$_thumb = wp_create_thumbnail( $bp->avatar_admin->original['file'], BP_AVATAR_ORIGINAL_MAX_WIDTH );
// Need to check if upload succeeded - issue with small files!
if ( is_object($_thumb) && get_class($_thumb) == 'WP_Error' ) {
bp_core_add_message( sprintf( __( 'Upload Failed! Error was: %s', 'buddypress' ), $_thumb->get_error_message()), 'error');
return false;
}
$bp->avatar_admin->resized = $_thumb;
}
HTH
Within their own profiles? Not that I know of.
However, if you use WPMU, your user blogs could use some WPMU-compatible e-commerce plugins such as eShop or Quick Shop.
eShop – https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/eshop/
Quick Shop – https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/quick-shop/
Hope that helps!
Yup that’s right.
The other thing is you might need to ensure that CubePoints is loaded as well.
Try something like this in your cubepointsbp() function:
function cubepointsbp() {
if ( function_exists( 'cp_init' ) ) {
//your ninja code
}
else {
// display error message
add_action( 'admin_notices', 'cubepointsbp_error_msg');
}
}
function cubepointsbp_error_msg(){
echo '<div class="error fade" style="background-color:red;"><p><strong>CubePoints for BP requires the CubePoints plugin in order to work. Please deactivate this plugin or activate <a href="https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/cubepoints/">CubePoints</a>.</strong></p></div>';
}
Untested… but see if that works.
Create a page in WordPress, then create a WordPress sub-page?

Thanks everyone for the responses! Now I have a better understanding of how the different components work together!
In order to keep the stickiness of people coming back to my website when someone replies to a comment of theirs on the WordPress Post side.. I reactivated my Comment Reply Notification plugin for WordPress so now people get notified by the BuddyPress stuff as well as the WordPress Stuff!!
Just as a side note, my website has over 168,000 comments on it and I attribute that to my use of the comment reply notification plugin that I’ve used for the past couple years. Glad to see that BuddyPress has those notifications built in!
I’ll most likely add the Forum Reply Plugin that you mention r-a-y as well. Thanks for the useful post! And thank you all for your help!
Next up.. getting my BBpress skinned to look like my site and getting that darned BuddyBar to work
I’ve made it so that my assets get put into a folder called files and it has the 777 permissions.
PHP Version 5.1.6
bp_comment_author_avatar() should work when used in the comments section of a WordPress blog post or page.
